Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Ignores patients, and forces patients to take unnecessary medications. If she's not content with your attitude, she will simply walk out of the room and tell you the meeting is over. Charged my insurance for unnecessary procedures. I received a $50K bill for uncovered procedures.

Dr.Calica needs to retire. She is the worst doctor I’ve ever met for someone who is seeking treatment for mental illness. She lacks empathy and professionalism. It’s disappointing to think that she attends patients whom have clearly been questioning if life is worth living.These patients deserve love and a good listening ear. Her bitterness and failure to show compassion will continue to give her such a poor reputation. Please do us a favor and quit. You need yourself some love.

Dr. Calika is the worst doctor I've ever met!!! She has NO bedside manner whatsoever and has little to no regard for her patients...it's simply churn and burn m, get em in get em out. Glendale Adventist is a quality hospital and I'm amazed that they choose to affiliate with this Degenerate Filipino who barely speaks English...truly disgusting this woman is....I wish there was a space for 0 stars

She is by far the worst doctor I have ever had. Not only did she look me up and down once she saw me, she told me You are CLEARLY anorexic and dying. within the first minute of meeting me. She knew nothing about my diet or my health to even come to that conclusion. She visits the psych ward in all these fancy clothes and her Chanel necklace like she has someone to impress. I told her what I do for a living, which is construction, and she told me you're not strong enough for that.

She is very insensitive and gives terrible advice, such as your friends are not forever. soon your friends will tell everybody you are crazy. Intimidating and does not listen to your concerns and/or needs. Very disorganized with scheduling. She has charged no shows after rescheduling without letting you know. I am very concerned for her other patients well being under her care. She is very unprofessional, she rushes your appointments, does not listen, and gas lights.
